More on the Athletics
The Washington Nationals have been outscored 54-21 over their past four games and will try to end a six-game losing streak when they host the Athletics on Wednesday evening.
Washington will look for a boost from the return of right-hander Cade Cavalli, 26, who will make his first start since Aug. 26, 2022 — his only major league appearance.
The Nationals’ first-round draft pick in 2020 (22nd overall), Cavalli missed the entire 2023 season following Tommy John surgery and made just three minor league appearances in 2024. He has 17 outings this season, including 15 at Triple-A Rochester, where he has pitched to a 6.09 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 65 innings.
Cavalli will try to provide a quality start for a pitching staff that has been getting bullied of late.
“There’s no going back or feeling sorry for yourself,” Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo said after Tuesday’s 16-7 loss to the A’s in an effort that looked even worse before Washington scored four in the ninth. “No, we’re going to keep working, and we’re going to get better.”
Cavalli will oppose Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (10-7, 4.00 ERA), who has allowed three earned runs or less in eight of his past nine starts. Most recently, he allowed one run on two hits over six innings in a 5-4 win against the Seattle Mariners last Wednesday.
“I think just continuing to try to make some adjustments on the delivery, get a little bit more carry, a little bit more life on the fastball, and I’ve seen some good results the last couple times out,” Springs said.
Athletics look to follow up strong showing vs. Nats
